Hibiscus Colors
GROUP A - SCORE: 88

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 90
Robert noticed that the upper petal had been cut by the mat, although this bothered him less than it did Richard because the crop followed the overall flow of the flower. He appreciated the unusual viewpoint from the back of the hibiscus and thought the presentation was beautiful. His main concern was the sharply rendered leaf on the left, which he felt competed too strongly with the flower for attention.

Richard Waas – 86
Richard loved the colors and found the flower extremely sharp. He particularly liked the colored portions of the background because they helped the hibiscus stand out, although the bright white area repeatedly attracted his eye. His biggest presentation concern was that the mat covered the top of the flower, and he cautioned photographers to make sure matting does not inadvertently crop important parts of their subjects.

Author: I have a large hibiscus bush by my house and it always amazes me to see the variations in colors and light for each flower. This was taken in late afternoon as the sunlight filters through the back of the flower.

Sacred Touch
GROUP B - SCORE: 87.5

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 84
Robert felt the photograph had a strong subject, excellent color relationships, and considerable emotional potential, but the framing was too tight. He encouraged leaving more space around powerful subjects so viewers can explore the scene rather than immediately reaching the subject and having nowhere else for the eye to travel. He also emphasized that presentation is an important part of competition work.

Richard Waas – 91
Richard agreed that the woman was crowded within the frame but praised the capture, particularly the red handprints on the wall, the colors, and the off-center positioning. He would have preferred the photograph printed larger—perhaps around 11×14—and with more surrounding background to show off the subject more effectively.

Hidden Light
GROUP B - SCORE: 92.5

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 92
Robert described this as an excellent image with a beautiful concept that departed refreshingly from the highly polished look photographers often pursue. He praised the composition and especially the shadow, which gave the flower considerable dimension and volume. He also appreciated the smaller print size and tasteful matting, feeling that the understated presentation complemented the photograph very well.

Richard Waas – 93
Richard agreed enthusiastically, describing the photograph as having an ethereal quality. The glowing appearance initially made him wonder whether the flower was sharp, but close inspection confirmed excellent detail. He praised the technique, dark background, and interaction between the leaf and its shadow, which added dimension to the composition.

Author: This image was taken at home while experimenting with macro photography in low light. I was drawn to the elegant shape and symmetry of this unfolding lily bud. I shot this handheld with a macro lens to capture the fine details up close, keeping my aperture at f/3.5 to get a soft, narrowdepth of field. A fast shutter speed allowed me to keep the shot sharp without a tripod, creating a crisp, clean silhouette against a completely
dark background.

A Small Catch
GROUP A - SCORE: 93

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 95
Robert placed this image in the Superior category. He admired the difficult action capture and felt the most interesting part was the bird reaching into the water with the splashing action around it. His main concern was that the reflection had been partially cut off while the upper bird remained whole, making the crop appear accidental. He suggested a more deliberate crop and additional room in the direction of movement.

Richard Waas – 91
Richard praised the sharpness, reflection, splashing water, and preserved highlight detail in the white feathers. At first he thought the bird’s head was submerged, then realized its position beneath the wing, which made the capture particularly interesting. His only uncertainty involved the almost-centered composition and whether subtle cropping might strengthen it.

A Small Catch
Praise the Conductor
GROUP B - SCORE: 87.5

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 86
Robert liked the smaller print and its matting but felt the photograph needed considerably more contrast. The central figure became lost among the rocks, pillars, and clouds, making the intended subject difficult to discover. He recommended selectively increasing contrast around the conductor and praised the title for helping the viewer understand the scene.

Richard Waas – 89
Richard agreed that the principal weakness was insufficient contrast and texture. He recommended selective dodging and burning or structure adjustments to separate important elements. He liked the composition and dramatic clouds but felt the conductor disappeared into the tonal similarity of the print.

Lines of a Lifetime
GROUP B - SCORE: 87

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 88
Robert considered this an excellent capture and praised the photographer for catching a meaningful moment. He liked the composition, particularly the inclusion and positioning of the woman’s hand, but felt the bright structural elements behind her competed too strongly with the subject. He also felt that the size and overall presentation limited the impact somewhat.

Richard Waas – 86
Richard called the woman a fabulous subject and saw the image as a strong example of street photography. He would have brightened the woman slightly to reveal more texture and detail while doing everything possible to minimize the bright staircase and white background elements. Those areas repeatedly pulled his attention away from her face, which he felt should unquestionably be the center of interest.

Happy Dance at Sunrise
GROUP B - SCORE: 93

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 98
Robert loved the minimalist image and described it as a piece of art rather than simply a photograph. He praised the bird’s placement near a one-third point but wanted slightly greater contrast on the bird in the print. Rather than merely correcting the subtly tilted horizon, he suggested embracing abstraction by making the diagonal more pronounced. He also considered a slimmer crop.

Richard Waas – 88
Richard liked the minimalist concept but thought the horizon might lean slightly to the right. His primary concern was that the bird was easier to recognize on screen than in the print; nevertheless, he found the overall image very pleasing.

Author: This photo was captured at sunrise on Biscayne Bay. I wanted to frame the bird against the incredibly soft pink and blue gradients in the sky. I shot this handheld with a lower shutter speed, which naturally resulted in
a little motion blur on the bird. I really like how that softness adds a sense of life and movement to the frame, making the landing feel like a dance against a perfectly still, high-key landscape.

Happy Dance at Sunrise
The Great White Heron Castle of Himeji
GROUP A - SCORE: 86.5

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 82
Robert liked the scene but felt the principal white building lost too much detail and contrast, particularly as the structure receded upward and into the background. Since the castle was the main subject, that loss of definition prevented him from moving the photograph into the Excellent category. He nevertheless regarded it as a solid image with good qualities.

Richard Waas – 91
Richard liked the composition and the contrast between the white castle and blue sky. He examined the print closely because it initially seemed softer toward the upper portions, but found that both the architecture and pine needles were in fact sharp. He wondered whether the apparent loss of sharpness was related more to printing than capture and otherwise considered it a very pretty photograph.

Author: This is a photo of Himeji castle--the biggest castle in Japan and nicknamed the Great White Heron. This is one of only 10 castles that have survived as originally built. Himeji castle was built in the 1500's and is the only building that was not destroyed in the city during WWII. I took this photo one year ago and used a polarizing filter. I used lightroom to add some saturation to the trees and sky. I also toned down a few hotspots on the castle due to the bright sunlight and cropped it a little to fit the print size.

Still Life
GROUP A - SCORE: 92

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 92
Robert enjoyed the image and thought it was very well composed. He would have preferred more negative space around the flowers and felt the white mat against the black background made the presentation feel confined. His larger concern was that the print lost much of the delicate flower detail visible on screen, making the blossoms appear more like broad painted strokes.

Richard Waas – 92
Richard admitted still life was not his usual genre but felt this example was handled beautifully. He praised the color of the water in the vase, the flowers, and the dark background, all of which helped the image stand out. He found the presentation slightly stark but otherwise regarded the photograph very highly.

Living Abstract
GROUP A - SCORE: 95

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 96
Robert placed the image in the Superior category and thought the composition was beautiful. His only compositional preference would have been slightly more negative black space above and beside the jellyfish, giving it additional room to “swim” within the frame. He especially praised the extremely thin blue line around the print, noting that it subtly reinforced the blues and magentas without competing with the photograph.

Richard Waas – 94
Richard considered this a very strong capture with excellent sharpness. He liked how the reddish-purple elements around the jellyfish created natural framing and complemented the blue subject. He felt the viewer immediately knew where to look and that the eye remained concentrated on the main subject rather than wandering around the frame.

Steve the Bass Player
GROUP A - SCORE: 88.5

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 85
Robert believed the image could gain several points simply by flipping it horizontally. Because viewers accustomed to English generally read from left to right, the current orientation caused the musician’s face to dominate immediately. Reversing it would allow the bass guitar to lead the viewer naturally toward the musician’s face. He also recommended removing the small bright blue spot.

Richard Waas – 92
Richard agreed with the proposed flip and particularly admired the motion-blur effect, which he felt had been executed beautifully in-camera. He expanded on Robert’s point about visual reading direction, noting that cultural reading habits can influence how viewers naturally enter and move through a composition.

Author: This is a photo of Steve the Bass player for the local surf rock band "Mala Onda." I took this photo when they were playing at the Mai Kai Polynesian themed restaurant up in Ft. Lauderdale last May. I attached a filter on the lens to give the effect you see on the guitar strings and elsewhere on the photo. The lighting was terrible and I had to do a bit of work in lightroom to get rid of distracting lights and brighten up the left side of the subject's face.

GROUP B - SCORE: 92.5

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 97
Robert placed the photograph high in the Superior category and found the title perfectly suited to its calm mood. He enjoyed following the architectural lighting and repeated curves of the lounge chairs and liked the blue accent created by the window and sculpture pedestal. His main refinement would be cropping some from the top and possibly eliminating several ceiling lights.

Richard Waas – 88
Richard also liked the image but wanted more breathing room around the sculpture on the right. He agreed that several ceiling lights could be removed and some of the upper portion cropped. He also wanted more contrast in the lounge chairs so their sculptural shapes separated more clearly from the background.

On the Sea
GROUP B - SCORE: 86

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 88
Robert praised the presentation and matting and felt the green border subtly related to the tugboat. Compositionally, however, he agreed that there was too much water and that the boat became somewhat lost within the large expanse of the scene. He recognized the difficulty of balancing the horizon, sky, water, and small subject and felt the photograph was technically well executed but lacked the final compositional refinement required for a higher score.

Richard Waas – 84
Richard liked the beautiful blue water and sky and appreciated that the tugboat was not placed directly in the center. His concern was that the tugboat was clearly the subject but remained too small within the frame. He recommended cropping considerably tighter so the vessel would become more prominent while retaining the attractive colors of the scene.

Water Drop Mushroom
GROUP A - SCORE: 88

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 88
Robert placed the image at the beginning of the Excellent category. He praised the technical capture but felt the centrally positioned splash made the composition too static. He suggested placing the main form lower in the frame or closer to a one-third position, leaving more negative space for the viewer’s eye to explore.

Richard Waas – 88
Richard agreed and felt that moving the principal splash farther to the right would work particularly well because the suspended droplets on the left could then lead into it. He also suggested a modest increase in saturation. His only presentation concern was that the print appeared to have loosened from its mat, creating shadows that were not part of the intended image.

Bar of Damocles
GROUP A - SCORE: 87.5

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 87
Robert agreed that architectural perspective was the major weakness. The converging lines were especially obvious near the edges, and he felt the image would benefit substantially from perspective correction in post-processing. He liked the bartender’s placement within the cooler-colored portion of the scene but felt the cropped upper structure and distortion reduced the photograph’s strength.

Richard Waas – 88
Richard felt the photograph had a great deal going for it but was visually busy and lacked an immediately obvious focal point. The bartender was buried in the shadows, so he recommended opening that area while toning down the bright doorway and exterior light. He also recommended correcting the converging verticals to strengthen the architectural presentation.

When Winter meets the Light
GROUP A - SCORE: 92

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 90
Robert praised the beautiful colors and composition but felt there was substantially more sky than necessary. He recommended a tighter, more panoramic crop and wanted slightly more detail in the backlit houses so they would stand out better. He also felt the main elements remained a little too centered.

Richard Waas – 94
Richard similarly admired the colors and recommended opening the shadows in the row of houses and jetty. He noted that the print cropped part of the building on the right even though more image area existed in the digital version. Cropping the unnecessary upper sky, he believed, would create a stronger panoramic composition.

Sheltered by the Mountain
GROUP A - SCORE: 90.5

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 91
Robert praised the striking combination of the yellow building against the gray mountain and considered the presentation beautiful. Although he questioned a white horizontal line extending from the roof, he felt there was good detail throughout both the darker foreground structures and lighter areas. He noted that the composition placed the subjects directly in the center, but felt this was a case where breaking the usual compositional rules worked successfully.

Richard Waas – 90
Richard also felt the centered approach was justified because of the strong symmetry. He particularly admired the warm yellow building against the cooler blue sky and gray mountain. The placement created effective warm-versus-cool color contrast, and he praised the image for its sharpness and strong visual structure.

Tulips and Wind mills
GROUP A - SCORE: 84.5

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 85
Robert felt the scene had the ingredients for a much stronger photograph but needed a more deliberate camera position. Simply moving left or right could have preserved both the tulips and windmill while eliminating the branch blocking the main subject. He was also distracted by the large, out-of-focus red tulip in the foreground, which visually advanced more strongly than the cooler sky and windmill.

Richard Waas – 84
Richard used the image to illustrate the difference between recording a scene and deliberately making a photograph. The branch did not function as useful framing because it crossed directly over the windmill. He also felt the windmill was cramped against the left edge and the bright foreground tulips competed for attention.

Storm Brewing
GROUP A - SCORE: 90.5

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 88
Robert differed from Richard regarding the people in the landscape. He liked the three figures because he felt human presence added scale and interest. Instead, he would have removed the sailboat on the left, leaving one boat, the figures, and the dramatic weather. He praised the sky and the impressive detail retained in the sand.

Richard Waas – 93
Richard loved the dramatic sky and the sun breaking through the clouds and thought the sailboats appropriately complemented the waterfront setting. Unlike Robert, however, he found the three people distracting and would have cloned them out, possibly along with other small peripheral elements, to simplify the scene and make the extraordinary sky even more dominant.

Author: This image was taken on the Rickenbacker Causeway in Miami. I had been out sailing my boat and had come back to shore because the large storm was brewing to the south. I thought the cloud formation was very intense and threatening looking.

Sturdy in the Storm
GROUP B - SCORE: 95.5

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert called this “as nice as it gets.” He praised the contrasting colors, off-center placement, beautifully rendered water movement, and soft pastel quality. His only reservation was that the framing felt somewhat tight; he encouraged photographers not to assume every strong subject needs to be cropped closely.

Richard Waas – 95
Richard also placed the photograph in the Superior category. He would have experimented with positioning the sculptural subject farther right so the projecting metal element created a stronger diagonal flow. He also noticed that the horizon appeared to slope slightly and felt a little more texture in the main subject could contrast nicely with the silky water.

The Guardian
GROUP B - SCORE: 84.5

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 85
Robert liked the texture and detail in the bird’s feathers but found the bright twig in front of the bird far too dominant. He explained that the viewer’s eye naturally moves to the point of greatest contrast, and when he squinted at the photograph, the twig became the first thing he saw rather than the bird.

Richard Waas – 84
Richard approached the image from his experience as a bird photographer. He felt the bird was looking out of the frame toward the left while most of the available space was on the right. He recommended cropping much closer on the right and providing space on the left, allowing the bird to look into the composition rather than visually leading the viewer out of it.

Restless Bird
GROUP B - SCORE: 89.5

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 94
Robert praised the difficulty and quality of the hummingbird capture but felt the composition and background reduced its impact. He agreed that the bird would work better away from the center and was particularly bothered by the background being divided into two strongly contrasting horizontal color zones. He suggested simplifying the background so attention would remain on the bird.

Richard Waas – 85
Richard’s first concern was the background line cutting almost directly through the middle of the image and appearing slightly tilted. He recommended cropping from the left and providing additional room on the right so the bird would have space in the direction it was looking and moving. While he admired the capture, he felt the beige-and-blue background distracted from the subject.

Restless Bird
Fairy Tale Forest
GROUP A - SCORE: 89

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 84
Robert believed the original capture and subject were strong but that the processing had not fully realized the photograph’s potential. The central area was extremely bright and lacked a gradual falloff, so he recommended stronger burning, more shadow control, and perhaps a vignette. He thought the tree texture was excellent and suggested that a monochrome treatment might emphasize form and texture.

Richard Waas – 94
Richard scored the photograph considerably higher but agreed that the brightest areas should be toned down. He recognized how difficult it is to make an effective composition from cypress knees and tree bases. He recommended cropping substantially from the bottom, where secondary elements distracted from the strongest textures and forms.

Author: The roots of this tree reminded me of the fairy tale stories taken place in magical foreeas. I cropped the image And processed it in Adobe camera Raw and Photoshop to bring out the colors and details.

GROUP A - SCORE: 96

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 97
Robert indicated this was among his highest-scoring images of the evening. He loved the color, panoramic flow, mist, and the way the viewer’s eye traveled through the scene. His refinements were very specific because he felt the image was already close to perfection: crop a little of the bright white area at the top and right, and ideally position the walking figure between the posts so her feet were not visually interrupted.

Richard Waas – 95
Richard also placed the image in the Superior category. He praised the panoramic presentation and especially the boardwalk as a leading line carrying the viewer through the person and into the landscape. He loved the illuminated mountains and rising steam and suggested only brightening the walking figure slightly.

Author: It was an unusually cold spring morning with the frost covering the boardwalk and the cold air enhancing the steam from the geysers...

GROUP A - SCORE: 85.5

JUDGES: Robert Lino and Richard Waas

Robert Lino – 86
Robert felt the blues had been pushed far beyond a natural level and that too much visual weight had accumulated on one side of the photograph. He was also concerned about odd-looking areas around the trees that suggested heavy processing or imperfect masking. Although he liked the underlying subject, he felt the image needed a more restrained and deliberate post-processing approach.

Richard Waas – 85
Richard noticed similar issues, particularly around the trees, and questioned whether the sky had been replaced. He felt the colors were oversaturated and recommended reducing the intensity of the blues and cropping away less useful areas. He also advised processing an image, putting it aside for several days, and returning with fresh eyes before printing.

Author: This image was taken in Melbourne, Florida on the Intercostal waterway. It was evening and the sun was about to set. I thought the sails looked amazing with the low sun angle lighting them up. The image was flipped horizontally to put the boat on the right side of the image. I did some minimal processing with LrC and PS.
